Katara looked around confused, she was pretty sure that she had just died of old age and yet, she seemed to be staring at a mirror that reflected her sixteen year old self. What had happened? She wasn't anywhere she had been before, that's for sure.

The master waterbender was in a room that was completely empty except for a mirror, the walls and floor were a blackish colour and the room had no windows or anyway to let light in. Yet, at the same time there was something keeping the room lit. It was actually creepy and if Katara's brother, Sokka had been here then he would have been freaking out.

Katara hadn't been in the room for long when a door that had not been there before opened and a figure entered the room. Whoever it was seemed to be male, he wore a white Yukata over his purple skin, long white hair untamed and a demonic looking face.

Katara would never admit it but, she was scared. Whatever the thing that was in front of her was it wasn't of human or spirit nature, what was it?

"I apologise if my appearance has frightened you, Katara of the Southern Water Tribe. I am what humans would call the Shinigami, but you may call me Shin for short." The now identified shinigami, or Shin said. It wasn't in a demonic voice like Katara had expected, in fact it was actually a kind and gentle voice with a hint of... regret? "I suppose that you are wondering why you are here... You are most defiantly dead but unlike most who would just pass on I bought you here because I need your help."

What? What could something like the shinigami need Katara's help with? The waterbender voiced out that question.

"A few years ago -five to be precise- I had been summoned by a man from a world that is not where you originated from. The village this man had been the leader of was attacked by the Nine-Tailed fox, an entity completely made out of their worlds energy known as chakra. The man had summoned me in order to seal the demon into a newborn baby, more specifically, his own son in exchange for his own soul." Katara gasped, someone had sealed some kind of monster into their own son? After a short pause from the shinigami let Katara take in the information. Katara decided to ask something that had started to worry her.

"What... What happened to the baby...?" The waterbender was afraid of the answer, she had seen people discriminate against the fire nation after the war for something that wasn't their fault, what if the same thing happened to the boy?

The shinigami let out a sad sigh and said in a regretful tone

"His father had requested that he be seen as a hero, the next leader of the village had actually passed down a law so that the boys generation would not know about the demon sealed within the boy but... Word had spread to quickly within the older generation and even without knowing the younger generation followed their parents. Nothing physical has yet to have happened to the boy but he has been mentally tortured for all of his five year old life! He even has to live in a rundown apartment. The leader of the village tries to assist the boy but he is always busy and the boy has no knowledge of his now deceased family, he even thinks that he never even had parents or that they abandoned him because he was a 'demon' as the villagers would put it. He has also been denied the knowledge of why the villagers hate him."

Katara was trying her best to hold back tears, the villagers couldn't see the boy as a hero and instead he was seen at the demon he contained...

"Shin... What's the boys name?" Katara desperately wished that she could do something for the boy, even though she couldn't.

Perhaps this was punishment for learning blood bending? Having to learn about a child's suffering.

"His name is Uzumaki Naruto, son of a man named Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina." If it was a punishment then why did Shin's voice seem so... sad?

"Katara, I have a request for you. Even if your physical body can not go to that world your soul can. I would like to request for you to become Naruto's friend and that you teach him all about waterbending." There was a pause "even bloodbending. The boy has suffered enough for his age, I do not wish for him to stray down a dark path."

Katara's eyes widened, this wasn't some kind of punishment? She would get to help the boy? Tears of both happiness and sadness started to fall down the waterbenders face and she said.

"Of course I'll accept you request, Shin."

The next thing she knew, Katara had been transported to a room with one other occupant, a five year old blond haired, blue eyed boy was sitting at the table eating 'instant' ramen when he noticed the waterbender and shouted.

"AHHHHHHHH! A GHOST!"

Well that's the first chapter finished! Now I know that I should finish my current stories before writing anymore but... I have a few ideas for Naruto and Avatar X-Overs that are stuck in my head! This one was the one that had been annoying me for the longest so I figured that I would start with this...

At the moment I have no intention to bash anyone but that could change... But it would only be because they need to be bashed for plot development, not pointless bashing...

In this Katara will be like an older sister to Naruto and I'm thinking about throwing in either NaruHina friendship or a little NaruHina romance, although it will probably be more to the friendship side of things. I'm not good with romance...

If anyone haas any suggestions or advice it would be great to know!
